The sport button no longer illuminates, and I have not tested steering response or automatic transmission shifting since my car is a manual. I'm fairly certain the ECU broadcasts sport mode status via CAN, and if the ECU no longer recognizes its status, sport mode will not be announced as active on the data stream. The ECU does have parameters for setting the sport mode status to ON by default, so it may be possible to have it always active.

My next project is hydraulic steering conversion, so I'm not really sweating any loss of the heavier steering mode.
